REFEREES AND SECONDS PRESENT Each Combatant Makes a Prelimi- nary Statement. WILL LAST TEN DAYS CHICAGO, July 16—The Horr-Harvey debate opened with 200 present at the Illi- nois Club this afternoon. The debate will last ten days, beginring at 2 o'clock every day except Sunday, and lasting two hours and forty minutes, until 140,000 words have been spoken or until one side gives up. No such debate has ever been planned before. Judge Blodgett and Judge Caldwell acted as referees. Charles H. Aldrich acted as second for Judge Horr, and Judge Henry Miller for Harvey. Invitations had been issued to 1,000 per- sons, and admission was strictly by card. But 200 seats were available, but it is not expected that more than that number will be on hand at one time. ‘When the round ts over the speakers will read typewritten copies of their own and thelr antagonists’ remarks to be sure against mistakes or the interpolation of words that were never spoken. Then each man affixes his signature, and with the ad- dition of copyright procedure the docu- ments will go forth to the world as the only official report of the day’s proceedirgs. Ex-Congressman Roswell G. Horr is known as one of the readiest debaters in the country. He was once regarded as a wit in Congress. For several years he has — editor of the weekly New York Tri- une. Mr. William H, Harvey is the writer of “Cein's Financial School. Mr. Horr Starts In. Following is the opening statement of Mr. Horr: “Gentlemen: It is agreed between Mr. Harvey and myself that previous to en- tering upon a general discussior each of us shall make a brief statement defining, in a general way, the position he proposes to occupy in this debate, “The question which we are about to dis- cuss is not only receiving very great atten- tion among the people of the United States, but it.is one that fs also receiving some. a! tention from the nations of the old world. The question involves the kind of money that shall be used by the people of the United States, and has to do with laws which will affect the business interests of this nation. “The foundation of the discussion upon which we are about to enter is a small book published by Mr. Harvey, my oppo- nent, and entitled ‘Coin’s Financial School.’ “The real aim and ubject of that book is to convince the people of the United States that this government alone should at once enter upon thé free and unlimited coinage of silvfier upon the old ratio of 16 to 1. The wisdom of such a course I dispute. Mf. Harvey will still maintain the affirmative of that issue. “I will state In the outset that from the beginning to the end of the book there is hardly a proposition made to which I give my assent. I do riot now remember ever to have examined a book carefully in which I found so few statements that I consid2r werthy of belief, and I certainly never saw so many absolute errors cram- med into so few pages. Not Opposed to Bimetallism. “I am not here as an opponent of bimet- allism. I believe in the use of gold and sil- ver as money to the fullest extent that can be done on sound business principles. I be- Neve that both gold and silver are the nat- ural money of the world, and I have always entertained the hope that the business men of the world would yet come together in an internetiqnal convention and agree up- on some basis whereby gold and silver can be used as the money of final settlement among the people of the entire world. I do not believe that any one government can fix the value upon any two metals and name a ratio which will be accepted by the people of the world—of the country it- self—so that the two metals will be used side by side. Consequently, if our nation alone should attempt any such action, it would simply place our country upon a sil- ver basis, and the attempt would end in silver monemetallism. If we are compelled to decide between gold morometallism and silver monometallism, then I am decidedly in favor of adopting the standard used by thé civilized nations of the world. I do not be- Heve in the teachings of this book, that the nation is on the verge of financial ruin, or that starvation is staring our people in the face. I believe if our nation would adopt the course advocated In thig book It would seriously injure the entire wage earners of the Urited States. I believe we would de- stroy the confidence of the business men of the world in our integrity as a nation, and we would precipitate such a financial panic as our country has never before seen. “I will state further that if this book about which we are going to debate is true, then I am all wrong. It seems to me to be devoid of business sense from begin- ning to erd, and I shall enter upon the work .of attempting to prove that, and hope to be able to do it in language that shall be so plain and explicit that my fel- low-citizens will be satisfied that I have accomplished my task.”” Following is Mr. Harvey's statement: “T am here to defend the facts and principles in Coin’s Financial School. I_ am aware that the illustrations in that book are a great ald in presenting clearly its views. ‘We find this true in our schools. Many scientific works rely largely on illustrations, and our newspapers find that illustrations make plain many Ideas that could not otherwise be clearly expressed. And yet, I am here to defend orally those same principles. “I expect to make good, in this debate, the following propositions: “1. That silver and gold are the money of the Constitution. That the silver dollar was the unit of value in our coinage sys- tem in this country from 1792 to 1873, just as the yard stick was the measure of length. That gold was measured fn the sil- ver unit, and concurrent coinage given to it (gold). “That silver and gold combined consti- tuted the legal standard of value in this country until 1873. Silver measured gol the two together measured all other prop- erty. A Disputed Statement. “2. That the act of 1873 was surreptitious- ly passed. “3. That during the period 1792 to 1873 the mints were open to the unlimited coin- age of both metals into primary or redemp- tlon money, and that both were treated as such. That during that period people had a right to have efther metal coined into full legal tender money, and that the option was the debtor to pay in coins of either metal. “4. That this bimetallic system made an unlimited demand for both metals to be Castoria For Infants and Children. CASTORIA DESTROXS WORMS. CASTORIA CURES CONSTIPATION CASTORIA ALLAYS FEVERISHNESS.

That the option to pay in either metal caused the cheaper of the two metals to be used, and transferred the demand from the dearer to the cheaper metal, and restored its relative commercial value. We are for both silver and gold. We are called silver men because we are defending the metal that has been demoretized. “@. That it is to the interest of the United States to act independently in the remonet- ization of silver at the ratio to gold of 16 to 1, without waiting for the action of any other nation. Defining Monometallism. 7. That monometallism consists in the use of the dearer of the two metals to the ex- clusion of the other as primary or redemp- ticn money. The monorretallism is an ex- periment on trial for the first time in the history of the world, and began with the period, 1873; that it is impractical and im- possible asa stable money measurement of values; is not based on scientific finan- cial principles; is in the interest of the money lenders, and against the interests of the property owners and laborers. & That he gold unit as: the measure of valyes, with no concurrent coinage of any other metal to assist it in performing the functions of primary money, has caused the fall in prices, as compared with 1 when the world’s prices of property wel measured in the money mass of both metals. That all prices of property and labor have “declined accordingly, as com- pared with 1872, except when held up rela- tively by increased demand or short supply or combines and trusts, or special reasons affecting a particular service or property. That the average price of all production, except gold, will show this decline is ad- justing itself- to the gold standard. And that when we include in labor the unem- ployed and the time lost by those employ- ed, there is a fall in wages of one-half as compared with 1872. That labor is adjust- ing itself to the gold standard measure- ment of values. ®. That the decline in prices, covering a period of twenty-two years, has, as a rule, made all classes of productive mercantile and manufacturing business unprofitable, that a falling market, covering a long period, destroys the prospective profits based on cost of purchase and production, and a majority of our most astuté busi- ness men cannot avoid failure or loss of capital under these conditions. Hard on Debtors. 10. That it has worked a hardship and Injury to debtors, who, unconscious of the causes that continuously reduce the prices of their property, have contracted debts during these twenty-two years. That this fall tn prices causes a sacrifice of property to purchase the dollars with which to liqul- date these debts. That this has caused the renewal of debts, the contraction of new debts to pay old debts, and an enlarged volume of all debts. That this unjustly takes from a debtor his property and em- phasizes the importance of a stable money measurement of value. 11. That in the end no one is benefited by a fall in prices but the money lender, the owner of money and securities payable in money—fixed incomes. 12. That the foregoing facts and condi- tions produced by a change in our money measurement of values will impoverish the masses of the people, and points, by reason of the disturbances it will produce, to the overthrow of the republic. To all unbiased men and those who will lay aside their prejudices during their reading of this debate I expect to make good all of the foregoing propositions. Every fact in the School that Mr. Horr does not attack, I shall take for granted that he admits its truth. I am now ready to proceed in the order indicated in Coin's Financial School, and as contemplated by the rules of the debate. ee INDIANS GATHERING. Settlers Afraid of an Uprising and Ask for Troops. OMAHA, Neb., July 16.—A special to the Bee from Cheyenne, Wyo., says: “The gov- ernor has received a letter from citizens residing in the vicinity of the Indian trou- ble imploring him to send troops to this scene. Indians are gathering there in force and the whites fear an uprising. Several bucks have been arrested for vio- lating the game law, and {t is sald that scouts are now out locating other hunting parties, whcm the posse proposes to attack and capture. The nearest troops are at Fort Washakle, over four days’ march for cavalry from the ecene of the expected trouble.” ge Railrond to Key West. JACKSONVILLE, Fla., July 16.—Official announcement is made today of the ex- tension of the Jacksonville, St. Augustine and Indian River railroad from its present terminus at West Palm Beach to Miami, on Biscayne bay, a distance of seventy miles. ‘This will be the southernmost point of any railroad in the United States. It will give all rail communication to within 146 miles of Key West and about 140 miles from the Bahema Islands. Cloth Mills in Mesico. MEXICO CITY, July 16.—Many print cloth mills are running night and day, and even now are unable to Supply orders. Na- tive mills are finding an increase in busi- ness as a result of the depreciation in sil- ver, which renders importation of ordinary classes of print cloths excessively costly. High exchange on the United States and Europe protects native mills and, with the existing high tariff, foreign competition is almost impossible. =e, - Terrific Fire. SACRAMENTO, Cal.

Arranging for a Representation at Atlanta of the Colored People. ‘The colored commissioners, the women’s auxiliary committee and the men’s auxil- lary committee of the Atlanta exposition for the District of Columbia held a joint session at the commission rooms, 609 F street northwest, last night. The meeting was largely attended and there was much enthusiasm manifest in the work of the commission. Mrs, B. K. Bruce presided over the joint session and Mrs. Jesse C. Lawson was the secretary. Reports were received from the various committees showing the number and kind of exhibits recelved thus far and which will be sent to Atlanta. It is believed that the exhibit from the colored schools will be the most elaborate display made, and it is probable that this exhibit will be transmitted by the railroads free of charge. The committee on domestic*science has been unable thus far to secure sufficient space for the erection of the model home which it is proposed to erect to show the method of economic housekeeping. The committee has decided to illustrate . the model home in the cook book which is be- ing prepared by the women commissioners under the direction of Mrs. I. D. Baily. Mr. Hill, from the art committee, re- ported that the colored artists were pre- paring an elaborate collection, but they hoped to get the exhibit into 128 square feet of wall space. The most striking feat- ure of the exhibit will be prepared by Mr. Hill, and it will represent a man breaking his own chains and attempting to Yree himself from other fetters with which he is incumbered.) ‘The model 1s to be life size. Mr. Freeman, president of the Colored Artist Club, was introduced to the meeting and said that his club was preparing an exhibit, which they hoped to send along with the colored District exhibit. Mr. Law- son, the commissioner-in-chlef, reported that he had not been enabled to obtain any satisfaction from the managers of the Freedmen’s Hospital as to what kind of an exhibit they would Ike to make. He has about given up hope.of having an exhibit from this source. , This evening the lawn fete in aid of the exhibit will be given at Howard University campus, and as the women have made ex- traordinary preparations for the affair it is expected that there. will be a large crowd in attendance. Prior to the entertainment there will be a paradé by the civil and mili- tary organizations, headéd by the National Military Brass Bandsand the Washington National Musical Orchestra. The proces- sion will move from, Vermont avenue and Q streets northwest promptly at 4:30 p.m., where speaking will begin at 5 o'clock. Among those who haye been invited to be present and address -the assembly are B. K. Bruce, Mrs. Belya, 4. Lockwood, T. A. Lambert, Rev. W. H, Brooks, Rev. J. T. Jenifer, Rev, W. J..Howard, Dr. F. J.

CITIZENS PROTEST Additional Communications Filed With the Highway Commission, STREET EXTENSION PLAN CRITICISED A Number of Property Owners Give Reasons for Their Opposition. INTERESTS AFFECTED While yesterday was the last day allowed by the highwey commission for filing pro- tests against the first section of the street extension plan, quite a number of protests were not recelved until the last moment. They were referred at once to. Capt. Fie- beger, who 1s the secretary of the board, and placed on file. The remaining protests are as follows: Lucy H. Driver protests against such street extension as will take her lots, 10 and 11, blcck 14, Meridian Hill. A. C. Bradley objects to the extension of 18th street through his lot, No. 56, on Lan- fer Heights. = Charles Brandt and others combine in a quire an expenditure of from $75,000 to 100,000. He does not think it is practica- ble to extend 18th and 19th streets across Piney branch, and suggests that these extensions should not be made unless Con- gress at the same time appropriates sufll- cient funds to throw bridges across Piney branch. He suggests, further, that 18th and 1th streets should be curved and made to couforn to the contour lines of the land im crossing Piney branch. R. Edward Earll opposes the extension of Binney street from its present terminus westward to Columbia road, and suggests if Huron street were widened to ninety feet by taking land on the north side of the road the street would then be so neat- ly continuous with Binney strect as to meet all practical needs. J. B. Swaim protests against the widen- ing of Kenesaw avenue, for the reason that it would entirely destroy his property. Why They Protest. D. G. Swaim objects to the abandonment of 16th street between Columbia road and Kenesaw avenue. Sixteenth street extend- ed, he says, is one of the oldest established highways in the District, and one of the main arteries of travel for business and pleasure, being one of the natfral approach- es to the National Park. James V. White protests against any change in the location of Huron street. For twelve years he has been the owner of a lot in the line of the proposed extension, and while he has not been allowed to im- prove it with dwellings, has been made to pay taxes. If the street is changed he would suffer great loss. . David J. Saunders prctests against the extension of Le Droit avenve and W street, as such extensions would ruin his business and home. W. W. Burnett makes no objection to ex- tending Connecticut avenue and the widen- ing of California avenue and Park street, * protest agairst the proposed change in Sumner street. They say the street is largely built upon, and its abandonment would deprive them of the only highway to and frem their homes. They protest against the widening of the street for the reason that it would destroy their homes. As it Is not intended to cut the street through to 14th street it can never be more than two squares long, and as it is now about fifty feet wide no necessity, they maintain, exists for the proposed widening and it would cost not less than $15,000 to do the work. Mrs. Joseph N. Hodgkins wants to be heard if it is proposed to take part of her lot at 2004 7th street. . Edward F. Bates opposes the proposed circle at the intersection of Ill:ncis avenue and 13th street, as he considers such a res- ervation unecessary and a great hardship to the property holders, If a reservation is considerei desirable at this point, a small oblong spece would, he says, be equally ef- fective, less expensive and not so detri- mental to ‘he property interests involved. Views of Property Holders. A. M. McLachlen approves the highway extension plan as far as it relates to Lan- ler Heights. He thinks, however, it would heve been better if 18th street had been ex- tended due north with the city lines and a portion or all of Champlain avenue closed. Mrs. Mary Brown entérs a protest against the proposed extension and widening of 23d street northwest at Wyoming avenue, which will wipe out lot 24 and destroy for building purposes several more lots. At the public hearing, she says, additional reasons will be presented against the ex- tension. Malcolm Hufty, as attorney for Michael Wright, opposes the extension of Vermont avenue as proposed in the first plans. Chapin Brown, as attorney for owners, protests against the proposed Ingleside terrace. He bases his objection on the facts that the Commissioners fully consid- ered the plat of Ingleside subdivision and after three months ordered it to be record- ed. If the proposed plans are carried out the grade of the street will render all of the property unavailable and will re- % compensated for land taken. Claude F. King opposes the deflection of Vermont avenue. He says: “I agree with ex-Goy. A. R. Shepherd that all streets and avenues should be exact continuations of city streets and avenues, and should for no reason be deflecte: H. W. Scammell protests against the ex- tension of Huntington and 15th streets and recommends straight extension of all streets. The heirs of Martin L. Noerr“object_to the widening of 19th street opposite Oak Lawn terrace, because it is not imperative that 19th street be widened and because Columbia road is the main thoroughfare for that section. It widened large property interests: would be destroyed. - R. L. Longstreet opposes the closing of Adams Mill road and requests a personal hearing. George W. Linkins protests against any change in Prospect street. Wm. F. Mattingly protests against the proposed extension of New Jersey avenue. Such an extension is an unsightly and radi- cal deflection. Concluding, he says: “Economy of expenditure,’ ‘harmony with the plan of the city, the intention of the act of Congress and objectionable im- position’ of burdens upon property would, I suggest, require this avenue to be pro- longed in straight lines, and not be de- flected, as proposed.” FOURTEENTH STREET. District Commiesioners Favor tending It in a Direct Line. The Commissioners have decided upon an important reccmmendation to the high- way commission with reference to the first section. In the plans under consideration 1ith street is shown extended beyond *Piney branch, slightly defiected. At a recent dis- cussion the Commissioners agreed that 14th street should be extended beyond Piney branch on the city Hines. This was also Geemed advisable with reference to 15th street, and these recommendations were eee in a letter to the commission Ex- DISTRICT GOVERNMENT. < Bidding on a Stable. *Bids were opened this afternoon by the Commissioners for building a brick stable for the fire department cn U street between 6th and 17th streets. The bidders were: W. W. Wenfree, $1,096: Darby & Davis, $1,600; J. H. Howlett, $2,500; C. R. Munroe, $1,741; C. C. Clokey, $1,685; Columbus Thomas, $2,000; Peter McCartney, $1,583; J. M. Dunn, $1,555, and J. R. Young, $1,773. The contract ‘will be awarded to J. M. Dunn, as the Commissioners and the build- ing inspector are satisfied with his ability to do the work satisfactorily. Inspector Beggs Il. Captain G. ¥. Beggs, general inspector of streets, is confined to his home by Illness. Orders Made Today. ‘The Commissioners today ordered that a public hydrant be erected at the southwest corner of 15th street and Pennsylvania ave- nue southeast. ‘That a catch basin be constructed at the southwest corner of 37th and N streets. That the roadway of 9th street north- west, east side, from Pennsylvania avenue to F street be improved with an asphalt pavement on a six-inch base, the railroad company to pay for the two feet adjacent to its tracks, and also for the new pave- ment over the cuts made by it in the prose- cution of its work, the work to be done at once. The contract for constructing the Easby Point sewer has been eatended to October 1, 1895. Investigating Heating. The commission appointed some time ago by the Commissioners to investigate the subject of heating and ventilating with a view of obtaining the best system for the new public school buildings has made its report. It recommends that a contract be entered into with H. I. Gregory of this city for hot air heat'ng and mechanical ventilation at $2,600 per building. The com- mission favors some form of steam or hot water apparatus, with mechanical means for moving the air. The investiga- tions will be continued in the future. American Horses in Germany. Vice Commercial Agent Murphy at Lux- emberg sends to the State Department a translation of a paragraph in the Luxem- berg Zeitung concerning the importation of American horses into Germany. The paper says: “The horse markets have been more largely attended than heretofore, due to the fact that whole shiploads of horses come from America. These are purchased by agents sent by a number of North German dealers. In spite of the transportation and insurance charges, $45 per horse, the price is less than asked for European horses. + ——__+ 2+___ Making Provision for Stout Oificers. It has been found necessary to change the design for the conning towers of the big battle ships in order to afford more room for the commanding officers. The original plans provided for a vertical slit eighteen inches wide as an entrance to the tower. It is now realized that an opening of that width would not permit ihe en- trance of some of our commanding officers of generous girth, who might thus be obliged to turn over the direction of the ship in action to a more slender juntor, or expose themselves to flying shot and shell in the more commodious pilot house. There- fore the plans have been modified <o as to make the entrance slit wider and of ellipti- eal shape. —_—_—_—_—_-2+__ The Rancroft.

Sixteen of the seventeen gold watches taken from Dominick Richenbacker’s jew- elry store have been recovered, and the de- tectives expect to recover the last one from a place in Philadelphia, where one of the colored men pawned It. Yesterday Precinct Detective Helan and Policeman Flather re- covered two of the watches from the saloon of James Ray, in the “Division,” where the prisoner, William, alias “Blood” Jones, had left them with the proprietor for $5. Jones told the detectives that he sold the two watches, worth $140, for $5, but that as he walked out Ray said: “I’m lending you the money on the watches,” and Jones says he also winked at him. The saloonkeeper was arrested on a charge of receiving stolen property, and was required to give bond for ‘his appear- ance. Today the. case was called in the Police Court and continued until Saturday. Levi Poindexter and William Lewis, who were arrested in New York, are still held in custody there and will be brought here soon as a requisition can be sent for em. ————— THE COURTS.

Niblack, who accompanied Assist- ant Secretary McAdoo in his trip of inspec- tion of the naval militia on the Atlantic coast, reached Washington today. Mr. McAdoo will return Saturday on the Dol- phin. While the naval militia was found to be generally in good condition and giv- ing promise of service in the future, the Inspecting officers were impressed with the lack of uniformity in. the organizations, caused by the radical differences In the legislation of the various states. As this militates strongly against the espe - adjunct to the navy is ue eta Store will be made to re- move the irregularities by appeals to the militia of the states to secure curative leg- tslation. “The New York naval militia will start on its annual outing next Saturday, and, {i they do not go aboard a naval vessel, Lieut. Niblack will be detailed to inspect them. So Real Estate Matters. The Newstoys ard Children's Atd Bo- ciety have bought of Chas. W.
